It seems Hugh Jackman\u2019s close friendship with a member of the Trump family may be putting his romance with Sutton Foster<\/a> on thin ice.<\/p>\n

Did you know that Ivanka Trump has been buddies with Jackman <\/a>and his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, for decades? Insiders revealed a bit more to Rob Shuter\u2019s Naughty but Nice Substack<\/a>: \u201cHugh and Ivanka go way back. This isn\u2019t some casual Hollywood friendship. They\u2019ve stayed genuinely close for years, and that relationship has never really changed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSutton\u2019s politics are very different. She\u2019s vocal about where she stands, and the Ivanka-Jared circle is not a world she feels comfortable in \u2014 socially or politically,\u201d the insider added. \u201cThat room was never going to be Sutton\u2019s scene. And seeing Hugh so comfortable in that crowd \u2014 especially with Ivanka there \u2014 definitely hit a nerve.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a previous interview with The View in 2018 via Vanity Fair<\/a>, Jackman even discussed his friendship with Ivanka, and defended it. \u201cPeople question, \u2018Really?\u2019 And I\u2019m kinda like, \u2018OK, let\u2019s say your friends of [20 years\u2019] father became president,\u201d he said. \u201cWhether you agree with the politics or not, do you just dump your friends? I\u2019m like, \u2018no, no you don\u2019t.\u2019 I don\u2019t understand that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, despite this reported tension, insiders insist Jackman and Foster are working it out. They said, \u201cThey care deeply about each other. But when politics enters the conversation, it can get tense fast. That\u2019s where the real sparks fly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster at “The Sheep Detectives” New York Premiere held at Jazz at Lincoln Center on April 19, 2026 in New York, New York.<\/p>\n

For those who don\u2019t know, Jackman and Foster\u2019s<\/a> relationship allegedly began as an affair in 2022, while they were working together on\u00a0The Music Man\u00a0on Broadway. They had met over a decade prior, in 2008, when they saw Shrek on Broadway.<\/p>\n

Per a bombshell November 2024 report in Us Weekly<\/a>, Jackman and Foster\u2019s alleged affair seemingly caused his divorce from Furness. But in Oct 2025, the pair made their red carpet debut (and proved they\u2019re still in love despite being quite private)!<\/p>\n
